THE MAIL-JOURNAL—Wed., April 27,1983

Milford's Main street

IT CAME to light this morning (Wednesday) that Dan and Nilah Brown of r 1 Milford have reached an ageement with Philip Snyder and his sister, Elizabeth Ann Forrest, both of Santa Barbara, Calif., for the purchase of the Milford home of their late parents, Dr. Hugh C. and Marion Snyder. The home is located on South Main Street in Milford and is a comparatively new home. The Browns have placed their country home on the market. Lakeland School Board President Bill Little, who lives just across Main Street from the Snyder property and who is an ardent LU. fan, runs the flag high oh the flag pole when LU. wins a game — any game! — and has it at half mast when they lose. Dan Brown, an equally ardent Purdue (an ( as all the Brown boys are) plans a similar flag routine when Purdue wins or loses. —o— A NICE letter arrived this

Down from $76 million — NIPSCo has $73.6 million income for past year

James T. Doudiet, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Northern Indiana Public Service Company, reported that preliminary unaudited figures for the 12 months ended March 31, indicate a net income of $73.6 million. This compares to a restated $76 million, before the cumulative

Twice postponed hearing now set for May 10

The third scheduled hearing on the legality of the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision to evict three residents from a former conventional and hazardous waste landfill has been set for May 10 in Kosciusko Circuit Court. Postponed twice, first by the Area Planning Office and then by attorney Paul Refior, the hearing is expected to rule on the BZA’s injunction ordering the residents, David Poage, Troy Varney and Breck Walls to vacate the property. Refior filed a writ of certiorari in January asking Sand to examine the BZA decision. The

week from Mary Postma Kline Davenport who has a winter home in Sebring, Fla. With the letter was a clipping from the Sebring News. The item featured Mary, long remembered here as a telephone operator and only child of the late pedagogue John Postma. Mary and Mary Dowty, also of Milford and Sebring, were playing shuffleboard when a roving reporter quizzed them on whether or not Highlands County should have a United Fund instead of giving to the individual area charities. Mary sent along a chatty letter about her wintering in Florida (she’s now a Fort Wayne resident) and of her late father, remembered well in the Milford community for his years of teaching in the public school here.

effort on prior periods qf an accounting change, for the 12 months ended March 31,1982. Earnings per average common share declined to $.91 per share compared to a restated $1.19 during the same 12 month period last year. There were nearly eight million additional average common shares outstanding

hearing was originally scheduled for March 8, but Kosciusko County Area Planning Director Dan Richard requested the court to reschedule the hearing so his office could have more time to transcribe tapes of the hearing. After the rescheduled date of March 30, Refior requested more time to allow him to read the transcripts of the tapes. BZA members Jerry Grady, Jay Boyer and Robert Hartzell voted in December to uphold a prior Area Planning Commission decision to evict the residents because of unsuitable soil conditions.

schools, the alumni association is planning a special necrology service at this year’s event. Anyone knowing alumni members who have died in the past two-three years should advise this newspaper and we’ll see they are added to the list. JERRY KUHL, a new employee of The M-J, was asked to stroll down Main Street and give us her impression of the town. She did so and her thoughts follow: “1 have been working here for three days and have already talked with several people and visited a number of the businesses. Each noon I walk around the area and try to see something different. "Milford should be very proud of its new community building. It is very attractive and serves the community in a lot of ways.

during the 1983 period. “In spite of encouraging signs that the economy of our steelsensitive service territory is beginning to improve from the seriously depressed levels of 1982,” Doudiet said, “demand for gas and electricity remained disappointing. During the first three months of 1983, gas sales were off 22 per cent, with electricity sales off six per cent when compared to the same period in 1982.” “Unseasonably mild weather conditions, particularly during January and February, together with a sluggish economy, were responsible for the sales decline. Earnings available for common stock were also adversely affected by increased preferred dividend requirements reflecting additional outstanding preferred shares,” Doudiet said. “Last month, we presented our case before the Public Service Commission of Indiana in support of the pending $240.1 million electric rate increase filed in November, 1982. During the month of April, field hearings are being held in four cities where the public is provided a forum to express their views to the commission. In May, the case will reconvene in Indianapolis for the purpose of hearing intervenor testimony. We anticipate a ruling in late summer.” The utility’s first quarter 1983 net income increased to $33.9 million from a restated $29.4 million for the corresponding period a year ago. On a per share basis, earnings decreased to $.46 from a restated $.48 due to increased preferred dividend requirements and approximately eight million additional average common shares outstanding.

"The library, although it was not open when I stopped to see it, seems to be very adequate. I have talked to a lot of the business people including a pharmacist at the drug store, a gentleman in the hardware. I peeked in at the bank too. But most of all the people on the street all have a smile and a friendly, ‘hello* and 1 think that is what makes a community. "Milford has all the things necessary to make a fine community and I would be proud to saylliveorworkhere.” . BERNIECE BARNES, whose final rites were held at the Milford United Methodist Church Tuesday morning, will be remembered for her active community life. She was a true native of the Milford community, having been bom here and spent all her life here. Her father, in fact, the late Henry Erick, owned and operated a small grocery and meat market in what is now the

south half of Walter's Drug Co. His homemade sausage and the small smoke house behind the store are well remembered by many. Henry was mustachioed and had a kind word for everyone, right out of Dickens. Bemiece didn’t get her effervescence from her dad. Her obituary in another column in this paper tells of her many community associations and activities, but this writer remembers her as editor of The Milford Mail from 1928-1932. Her husband, the late Carlyle D. Barnes, became editor of the local weekly when Billie Groves passed away in the mid-19205. and held the job until Herbert Hoover became president in 1928. In those days, postmasterships were determined by political preference, and C. D. jumped at the opening under a Republican administration. Neither job — editor of The Milford Mail or that of postmaster — paid an exceptionally large salary. At any rate, when C. D. moved to the post office, which was

located in what is now the north half of the drug store, and next to his father-in-law’s grocery and meat market, Berniece moved into the editor’s chair. She is still remembered making the rounds of the stores and calling friends in the community for the "personal” items. Local newspapers in those days thrived on the personal news of their repective communities. She did a bang up job, for she had the get-up-and-go to ferret out the local news. She kept the columns lively and interesting, and we recall picking up the paper each Wednesday afternoon after school to see “what Berniece had to say.” No local item worthy of publication escaped the notice of Berniece nor her pithy pen. She was similarly “up front” in her church and lodge activities. She was a good citizen: she was a good person to have around: she was a good person to know. She will be missed by more than just her son Jim and daughter Joan. — AEB

LIKEWISE, DR. Homer Burke, who left his mark on the world as well as our small community, died last week. A resident of Waubee Lake, Dr. Burke was not only a medical doctor but a medical missionary who served his church for 26 years on the field in South Africa and later in Puerto Rico. He too was 86 years of age when he died.
